Pantaloon Pontiff posted:The leap from 'should be barred from owning firearms' to 'any idea of rehabilitation' is a pretty big one, and not one that I've made. It's all on a spectrum, but you're using the exact arguments people use for all levels of denying rights and rehabilitation opportunities to people who have committed crimes. You might not like being compared to people who are farther along the spectrum than you are, but you sound just like them.

Jean-Paul Shartre posted:Yeah. There’s actually a minor, but extant, collector’s market in state revenue stamps for illegal drugs. Since, since the laws say you have to have them, the state departments of revenue produced them. The US Postal Museum in DC has a large stamp gallery. The revenue stamps were quite interesting. They had whole books of marijuana stamps, and huge stamps for whole traincars of wine or other alcohol.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:I have absolutely zero idea where you got "voting, et cetera" from. I said nothing about barring people from voting for any reason, so saying you think I think they ought to be banned from voting is putting words in my mouth, and the 'et cetera' is an even further leap. I do think dumb felonies should not be dumb felonies, but the problem there is not 'felony blocks firearms' but 'this shouldn't be a felony,'. I'm also fine with 'deliberately causing major property damage' being a felony in general and that leading to someone being barred from firearms, I don't want someone keeping and bearing arms while they're going through parking lots keying cars and I don't think that's disproportionate at all. I got "voting, et cetera" from things are taken away from felons, not from anything you said, thanks for clarifying. You've said dumb felonies shouldn't be dumb felonies, and people who commit felonies deserve to have their 2A rights taken away; does it matter to you whether they know the medium-bad thing they're doing is actually a dumb felony in their jurisdiction? Does the fact that "felony blocks firearms" is there to keep guns out of the hands of black Americans trouble you, as a 2A enthusiast?

I have a legal question about property law in Texas. Ok, here goes. In Texas, if I buy a car while married, but the car is solely in my name, does my wife have right to do anything with the car like sell it, put it up as collateral, etc, without my permission? More specifically of an example, if a contract is written up regarding the car, and lists the contract only under her name, and doesn't name me, is the contract binding? - From what I read, the wife in this scenario only is entitled to "my" car or its value, in the event of a divorce. Which is not the case here. Anyways. Hope this isn't an absolutely stupid question. Thanks.

Property acquired during the marriage is community property, unless [lists the three or four exceptions], but your question doesn't appear to be about community property, it's ostensibly about a contract, and whether the contract is enforceable, like for example your wife sold your car and now you're trying to balk at the deal, or maybe she signed the car up for some modifications or repairs and you're trying to get out of paying for them. The enforceability of the contract depends on half a dozen factors, including, but not limited to what the contract was for, and who's name is on the title, and whether the other party performed, and blah blah blah 3. Good luck with your divorce, get a lawyer

Look up separate vs community property and see if you can establish where the money that purchased the car came from. It’s community property unless you can show that it isn’t

So either shared income bought the car, or indistinguishable/indeterminate income (which I'll assume is tantamount to "shared income") bought the car. So it really doesn't matter that it's just his name.. and maybe a finance company on the title? For a contract? Hmph.

It's 'only' $1000 per 50 dosage units Would that mean you could only sell your LSD in quantities of 50 and stick a tax stamp on the cellophane cigarette pack wrapper you pack them in? Also, is this even something that gets added for charges for non-cartel levels of drug possession? I occasional look through the jail roster in my county and see plenty of people in for dealing drugs, but I've never seen a tax stamp charge on their list of charges.

Skunkduster posted:Would that mean you could only sell your LSD in quantities of 50 and stick a tax stamp on the cellophane cigarette pack wrapper you pack them in? You can put a 50 dose stamp on a 10 pack if you want. The wrapper has to be closed by the stamp so that the stamp is torn when the package is opened. Reusing a stamp carries the same penalty as not having a stamp. Skunkduster posted:Also, is this even something that gets added for charges for non-cartel levels of drug possession? I occasional look through the jail roster in my county and see plenty of people in for dealing drugs, but I've never seen a tax stamp charge on their list of charges. Let's talk non-cartel levels first. Simple possession is a mixture or substance containing any detectable amount of a controlled drug Possession with intent to distribute is possession of any detectable amount with additional evidence that you did give or sell, or intended to give or sell any detectable amount. (Multiple baggies, text messages, a scale, cash, etc) Trafficking is possession above a certain amount. That's it. No intent to sell or distribute, no gang, no network, no dealing, no nothing, just simple possession of x amount. Eg.: meth trafficking=20 grams LSD trafficking=1 gram Cocaine trafficking=28g (before 2019, crack cocaine trafficking was only 5 grams* while powder cocaine was 28g) Marijuana trafficking=25 pounds MDMA trafficking =30 tablets/10 grams Remember, the grams are for "a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount" of controlled drug So 12 grams of meth with 10 grams of cut is trafficking. 20 doses of LSD on a 1/4 sheet of paper (a little over a gram) is trafficking. 1 dose on a 4 gram sugar cube is trafficking. Even aggravated trafficking isn't cartel levels. Meth, 200g LSD, 10g Coke 300g MJ 1000 lbs MDMA 100 tabs/30g Aggravated trafficking is the same sentence range, you just have to serve 85% of your time vs 50% for 'regular' trafficking I've had 3 or 4 of these in 5 years on a trial docket. Extrapolating that would get to about 8-11 cases with drug tax charges filed per year in a county of 600k people. Every one of my drug tax stamp cases were African-Americans possessing from 7 grams (the minimum for the tax stamp charge) to 25 grams of crack cocaine. Hardly cartel amounts. Cartel amounts 1) wouldn't have a PD, 2) would have gotten picked up by the feds. Not all states have drug tax stamps, and not all that do have them push it. NC (not my state) goes nuts with it. *up until 2015, if you had 2 simple drug possession prior convictions (3 if at least one was marijuana) and you picked up a trafficking case (Like 5 g of crack) there was only one possible sentence; life in prison without the possibility of parole. Even first degree murder allows life with the possibility of parole.

Only insofar as the revenue services can go after them for tax fraud. As I understand it, the IRS doesn't really care where the money comes from, as long as it's properly accounted for in your return. Same with tips, etc.

In a sense yes because you’ve broken one less law, so there’s one less thing they can charge you with. But they won’t go easier on you on the drug charges themselves.
